RTOS/TMDSCNCD28M36: Example programs using TI-RTOS for the control card TMDSCNCD28M36

Part Number: TMDSCNCD28M36


Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hello, I have multiple questions. We have purchased the TMDSCNCD28M36 control card. We are using CCS7 for development.  We want to use TI-RTOS in our target application that will use the F28M36 Concerto processor. Our product is a real time pressure data acquisition system that outputs data to network devices. This dual core processor fits our needs quite well as the data will be sampled, filtered and converted using the F28 and the communication would be handled by the M3.

I found an example project, the RT-SineFIRFFT_m3 and the RT-SineFIRFFT_c28. We can partially get the example working. The UART output works but we can not get the Ethernet to handle an ARP causing the control card to not respond to a ping. I was hoping that this example would use TI-RTOS for the network communication, however it appears to use the third party UIP modules from  Adam Dunkels. I do not see any use of TI-RTOS in this example. I have not found another example for this control card. I can probably get this ARP and PING to work but I don't see the point because our goal is to use the features of TI-RTOS.

Our target design requirements include: 1588 PTP, IPV6, FTP, Web Server, Telnet Server, multiple threads and a Flash File System. From my understanding of TI-RTOS that it supports these functions.

Below are my questions:

1) Can TI-RTOS run on the TMDSCNCD28M36 control card, is there an example for it and what functions will work? Will it need to be ported to the F28M36?

2) Can I use other TI-RTOS examples for the M3 only for the TMDSCNCD28M36 control card? I have tried various example projects but none seem to compile correctly. I most likely have not picked the correct example. What examples will work on the M3 portion of the TMDSCNCD28M36?

3) Is there another TI processor with a development board that has TI-RTOS examples that can match the performance of the F28M36?

4) What TI-RTOS functions, listed above in our requirements, will we need to port to the TMDSCNCD28M36 and are any ready to be used?

5) Is there a network chip and flash that TI-RTOS already supports?

6) Should I be using CCS7 or CCS6 for this development?

Thank you for your advice in this matter, your answers will help guide us in our development.

    Hi Drew,

    1) Yes, the F28M36 controlCARD is supported by TI-RTOS. Try pulling up the Resource Explorer (Classic) in CCS and you should be able to find examples. Here's what it looks like for me (I have CCS v7.2 and TI-RTOS for C2000 2.16.00.08):


    2) Which examples did you try? Can you give me any details on what kind of issues you're seeing? What version of TI-RTOS have you been using?

    I don't know the details of the networking functionality, but I'll ask someone from the TI-RTOS team to check out your questions and comment.

    Hi Whitney, I downloaded the TI-RTOS for C2000, installed it and compiled the TCPEcho example. It built just fine. I will upload it to the experimenter board and test it later today. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction and providing the correct example. I am interested in the network functionality,as that is a big part of our project.

    I was using examples for the TivaC. I was all messed up. I did not have the correct TI-RTOS downloaded.

    Thanks.
